Airfix RNLI Severn crew


Recommended Posts

Just starting on the 1/72 Severn (I seem to have the version where the hull sides and deck don't meet properly and need quite a bit of filling) and wondered if anyone knows of suitable figures for crew.  I don't think there are any in the full RNLI gear but crews are sometimes seen in 'civies' such as thick jumpers, over-trousers etc. Please no 'reshape a 17th century lancer's body and fit to a modified Ming dynasty samurai', I'm doing well to glue things in the right place! Thanks

I think the 1/72 Preiser hard plastic Nato pilots/ground crew set might be an option. Hard plastic is always preferable (easier for conversions) :

Eduard also have some hard plastic figures in 1/72 :

Arjan,

this link leads to ... Napoleonic War Engineers.

Of course these men were tough but i'm not sure as tough as RNLI lifesavers...
